Huo Yao placed the bottle back on the table. She turned her head sideways and looked at Pei Feng playfully. She smiled and said, "Did you use my prescription?"
Pei Feng looked a little uneasy under Huo Yao's gaze. He did not even bring the medicine back.
He knew that Huo Yao's medicine was made according to Huo Yao's prescription.
But so what? Wouldn't it be fine as long as it could cure the disease?
Old Mr. Pei's eyes landed on Huo Yao's face when he heard this. Two seconds later, he looked at the bottle of medicine on the table.
Almost very quickly, he walked over anxiously. He didn't even care that his body bumped into the chair. Lin Shuwen, who was watching from the side, quickly stood up to help him, afraid that something would happen later.
Old Mr. Pei no longer paid any attention to Lin Shuwen. He walked over, picked up the medicine bottle, opened the lid, and sniffed it.
Although he was not an alchemist, he had a deep understanding of pharmacology, so he could practically smell the ingredients in these pills with a single sniff.
Old Mr. Pei recalled that Huo Yao had been refining medicine in the pharmacy some time ago. At that time, he had asked him what medicine he wanted to refine, but Huo Yao had only said that he was researching it and did not explain in detail. After that, Old Mr. Pei had stopped asking.
So she was using Little Master Huo's prescription to refine medicine …
Old Mr. Pei leaned against the edge of the table. For the first time in his life, he was at a loss for words. It would have been fine if Huo Yao was just doing research, but it was obviously more than that. He was stealing other people's things to make himself look good.
Old Mr. Pei's body swayed, and he lost his grip on the medicine bottle. It fell onto the table with a clang and rolled onto the floor.
Pei Feng hurriedly stood up and walked over to Old Mr. Pei. Before he could say a word, Old Mr. Pei slapped him across the face. "You're embarrassing yourself. You're embarrassing yourself."
Old Mr. Pei shook his head. His voice was a little hoarse, and his face was full of desolation and disappointment.
How did the Pei Family produce two people with no principles or bottom line?
Pei Feng did not dare to say another word. He had only intended to give the medicine to Fang Chen in front of Huo Yao and be done with it. He never expected that Fang Chen would reject his brother's medicine or that Huo Yao would pick it up to look at it.
The scene was very awkward.
Huo Yao sighed softly. She bent down to pick up the bottle from the floor and placed it on the table.
There was nothing wrong with concocting medicine. It was just that the standard of a middle-rank apothecary was … indescribable.
Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. Even though Huo Yao looked perfectly normal, Min Yu could sense the impatience in her eyes.
Min Yu glanced at Pei Feng coldly. Other than Old Master Pei, no one else in the Pei family would be able to take on any important responsibilities.
Min Yu stood up slowly and casually placed his hand on Huo Yao's shoulder. Huo Yao turned her head sideways to look at him.
"Aren't we going to the library?" asked Min Yu calmly.
Huo Yao blinked and nodded. "Okay. Let's go."
"Uh huh," acknowledged Min Yu before he turned to look at Old Mr. Pei. "Old Mr. Pei, we'll make a move first."
He didn't mention the medicine again. He was giving Old Mr. Pei enough face.
Old Mr. Pei looked at Huo Yao. He placed his hands on the table and tried his best to maintain his posture. He was too embarrassed to ask them to stay, so he forced out a word. "... Okay."
Min Yu took Huo Yao's coat from the hanger and handed it to her. Before long, they walked out of the private room hand in hand.
Although they did not say a word, Old Mr. Pei knew that their relationship would probably end like this forever.
